Injection training can be obtained through courses of study, short-term opportunities, or private services. Medical supply companies offer products that simulate injection sites for practice. Repetition is essential for developing good venipuncture technique.
To obtain injection training, your individual goals and reasons for wanting to perform venipuncture must first be assessed. If a career in the healthcare field is on the horizon, all you have to do is enroll in a course of study that includes injection training as part of the curriculum. You may need to purchase materials separately, but injection technique will be taught in classes and through supplemental materials. If you want injection training to deal with a personal health issue such as diabetes that requires insulin injection, different short-term opportunities for injection training are available, which you can select according to your resources and skill level. Some of them may be free.
Private injection training is sometimes offered as a free service from pharmaceutical manufacturers to home care customers. Clients may need injection training to administer fertility drugs, to manage their diabetes through insulin injection, or to manage other health conditions. A telephone consultation is made and a representative, usually a nurse, visits the home to provide venipuncture instruction. In addition to drug injection, fundamental concepts such as sterilization and needle disposal can also be addressed. For a fee, injection training can also be taken on an elective basis at an educational institution such as a nursing school, and hospitals can offer training either free of charge or in a class.
Medical supply companies distribute a wide range of products that simulate the injection site, allowing people receiving injection training a valuable opportunity to practice on a non-living subject. Some products take the shape of the human forearm for maximum realism and are quite expensive. Less expensive models simulate the tactile environment of flesh, using silicon under a synthetic surface, but they don’t look like human limbs. Both styles feature a porous internal structure that will accommodate fluid, allowing the use of a loaded syringe in practice for added realism. The use of simulated injection sites for practice is an important component of different injection training curricula and emphasizes that repetition is essential for developing good venipuncture technique.
